Shiny's radio-controlled helicopter sim gets pushed back until next summer.

The development of Shiny's R/C Stunt Copter has seen more ups and downs than the helicopter the team is trying to simulate. Midway (the game's publisher) informed us today that the game will not make its latest release date (sometime this spring), and R/C Stunt Copter has now been put on the release list with an uncertain June-July date.

While development continues on the game, the designers have been hard at work injecting more features into the game engine. Most of the development for the past year has been in creating missions that would suit the scale model of a radio-controlled helicopter. Midway let us in on a few of the ideas that will be placed into the game ¿ in one mission, you'll have to rescue plastic army men from a menacing lawn mower. In another, you'll steal water from your neighbors to irrigate your backyard.

We've been promised a closer look at the game sometime in January, so expect an in-depth preview of the game then.
